SUMMARY
Geomagnetic storms affect both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with aurora activity often appearing as a mirror image at the poles. The misconception that these storms only impact the Northern Hemisphere is incorrect. Satellite photographs have documented auroral displays at both poles, indicating that geomagnetic storm effects are global rather than hemispheric. Understanding the nature of Earth's magnetic field is crucial for comprehending these phenomena.
PREREQUISITES
